Qld Standard Building By-laws use W33N to W70N & W41C to W70C -
these are exactly equivalent to AS 4055 except N1 (W28N) Is not considered to apply in
Queensland.

Corner applications are required if any of the
panel's area is located within 600mm of the corner of the wall, otherwise the General
application applies. The results only apply to planar (not curved) walls.

Pressure coefficients for use in AS 1170.2 are shown In Tables B1 8,
82 of AS 4055.

Permissible Design Gust Wind Speeds (expressed in metres per second)
are given as the number between W and N (non-cyclonic) or C (cyclonic) in the Standard
Building By-law Classification.

Panel Size Limitations

On the basis of the theoretical behaviour o11he planar test panel
with confirmations from the observed data, the following tabulation has been derived.

Appropriate deflection and stress limitations have also been
included in the establishment of this table. Wind Classification Vs Span for Span for

In defining the structural adequacy of various types of building
products for wind rating purposes, the objectives of the test program have been satisfied.
